Improving Methane Generation by Co-Digestion of Sewage Sludge and Petrochemical Wastewater: Influence of Heat and Alkali Pretreatment

Improving Methane Generation by Co-Digestion of Sewage Sludge and Petrochemical Wastewater: Influence of Heat and Alkali Pretreatment

With the target of amplifying methane generation from sewage sludge (SS), co-digestion with petrochemical wastewater (PWW) was examined. In addition, the use of both 165 °C heat treatment and alkali pretreatment to mixed SS/PWW wastewater was assessed. Batch tests demonstrated that refractory materi...
